Updated: The Rock’s Box Office Numbers Are In

The Rock’s latest movie Fast Five grossed $83.6 million to top the box office this weekend. The movie is the biggest opening weekend for the franchise as well as the biggest in April history and in 2011 total as we noted earlier. The film is on track to gross as much as $500 million worldwide.

The Rock is planned to appear in the next film as well, which is currently being written.

Here is the full weekend box office report:

Fast Five blew away the competition to open at the #1 spot at the box office this weekend. The action sequel starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson grossed $83.6 million in its first weekend, the biggest of the franchise by far. The film opened in 3,644 theaters for an average of $22,950. It is the biggest April opening of all-time as well as easily the biggest opening of 2011 to date, equaling more than the next two openings (Rio and Rango) combined. The film has a worldwide gross of $165.0 million and its budget was $125 million.

Fox’s animated film Rio slipped one spot to #2 to make way for Fast Five. The family film grossed $14.4 million in its third weekend. The film now has a domestic total of $103.6 million and a worldwide total of $364.3 million on a $90 million budget.

Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family also dropped a spot, down to #3. The film brought in $10.1 million in its second weekend, a 60% drop. That is pretty standard for Perry’s films. The film now has $41.1 million from a budget of $25 million.

Water for Elephants dropped a spot to #4 in its second weekend with $9.1 million. The romantic drama had a 46% drop, just a bit high for its genre. The film has a domestic total now of $32.3 million and a worldwide total of $40.3 million from a $38 million budget.

Prom opened at the #5 spot for the weekend with $5 million. The teen comedy opened in 2,730 theaters for a mere $1,832 per-theater average. The film still stands to be profitable though, as it had a budget of only $8 million.

The animated sequel Hoodwinked: Hood vs. Evil opened at the #6 spot with $4.1 million. It opened in 2,505 theaters for a $1,653 per-theater average. The fairy-tale comedy looks to be a bomb for the Weinstein Company, as it had a budget of $30 million.

Soul Surfer continued to hold on remarkably well as it stayed even at #7 in its fourth week. The biopic drama grossed $3.3 million, a mere 39% drop from the previous week, and now has a total gross of $33.8 million. The budget was $18 million.

Insidious moved up a spot from last weekend, going from #9 to #8 in its fifth week with a $2.7 million take. The horror film has a $48.3 million total off a budget of only $1.5 million.

The Source Code held on to its spot in the top ten, staying even at #10 in its fifth weekend. The Jake Gyllenhaal sci-fi action thriller grossed $2.5 million. The film has a domestic total of $48.9 million and a worldwide total of $83.9 million on a $32 million budget.

Dylan Dog: Dead of Night failed to hit the top ten, grossing $885,000 from 875 theaters to rank at #16.
